Continued: As someone said before in the comments, this puzzle is laid out so everything is clear and you can know what each thing does. It's your fault when you spend an hour plus sulving it!

For anyone who thinks you can get stuck in the area with the fizzler (with a hint included): go to the right and aim at the laser area, you can shoot a portal from there and escape,and furthermore this fact is reused a bunch of times during the solution

So I tried this around a year ago, had no idea whatsoever how to solve it so I moved on. Came back today, took me like around an hour to solve, I really really tried my best this time. For how simple it looks this is definetely the most challenging puzzle I've came across. Throughout my playing I kept feeling really dumb for not knowing the next thing to do which seemed so simple and logical afterwards. Even with looking at hints I had lot of trouble. At the end tho I tell yeah it's one of the best feeling when you know you've finally solved it after alternating periods of thinking really hard and then just bouncing around in game feeling tired not knowing what to do. At the end I broke the like button, one of the best maps I've ever played.

That - was - real - genius. Hint 1: Use 2 portals (no cube) as the primary way to open the funnel chamber. Hint 2: Drop off the cube in the funnel chamber. Hint 3: A cube can operate a button and a laser at the same time.

Solved!! In my sleep... or almost!! The eureka moment came while tossing and turning in bed and rolling the puzzle around in my head. Couldn't wait to get up and execute the plan in my head. Absolutely lovely puzzle Azora e. Thanks for your awesome work.

Wow... this is a hard one... It doesn't look that hard when you first enter it but...Subbing and keeping it for a rainy day. Been at it for 2 hours and still no eureka moment yet. Bravo man, this one's a classic.

I enjoyed this so much, I came back and played it again the day after I solved it. I then built a tribute map to it: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=455785162 My version is a COMPLETE hat-tip to Azorae's Solitude. I have mirror-flipped the map, though, and have added one little something for those of you who would like to try this again, only a little harder. I promise, everything is still completely visible and accessible. No secrets, no surprises.

Add me to the list of people who worked on this for several days and then finally solved it. The amazing part is that there's nothing hidden; you can clearly see every element and know exactly what it does. Once you've solved it, you have nobody to blame but yourself for taking so long to figure it out. In other words, it's a perfect puzzle!

Seriously - I don't know for how many times I've tried this one now! Still unable to solve....and honestly, I have no clue.........it is very hard to resist to watch a solution vid and feel like a total idiot.......:) What am I missing here??? No, don't say anything! Hasn't been the right stuff to distract me from my written exams............feel so stupid again......Great mapping and obviously great puzzle!!! Thanky for mapping - One day I swear.......;)

This is the most difficult chamber I've tried. I gave up and watched part of a solution video, and still couldn't solve. I had to watch the whole video twice. It's so simple once you know the solution, but it would have taken me so long to figure it out.

Holy grandmother of mindfuck, this was one of the hardest maps I've ever completed! It took me hours now to finally complete it, and I've struggled with it several times before, with no luck. What I don't understand is how the hell is this only 4/5 and only 181 ratings? Anyways, thank you for the top quality challenge, and I hope you'll continue making these amazing maps.

Woah, HOLY SHIT. I hereby name Solitude the queen of portal maps (so far ;))! Great job!!! Personal difficulty: 5/5 of course, atm it feels like it was the hardest ever (and i solved all of Mevious'). I think this could serve as a prime example, how complex portal 2 can get with only a few elements. I normally dont give much on custom art, but Solitude definitively deserves it! :)Keep it up!
